About us

Solving eye health concerns can be complicated and often doesn’t have a simple answer, requiring a jigsaw of products or methods that only form a solution when fitted together. 

For dry eyes that might mean some of the latest over the counter eye drops, gels, night-time ointments or even a sleep mask.

For blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) it could be a preservative free lid care wipe, heat mask or tea-tree oil cleansing solution.

As well as a good diet, nutritional supplements can have a role to play in conditions much as macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts and dry eyes. Key ingredients you can find include: lutein, zeaxanthin; omega 3 oils (DHA, EPA and ALA), co-enzyme Q10, bilberry, ginkgo biloba & N-acetyl cysteine (NAC).

If you have sensitive eyes or skin then our multi-award winning makeup and skincare will be a valuable find.

Our aim is to make Butterflies Eyecare the best 'site' for sore eyes

So whether you have macular degeneration, glaucoma, dry eyes, blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), sensitive skin or eyes - we have a solution.
